IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To reduce the risk of

READ THE FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS. DO NOT EVEN THINK OF STARTING UNTIL YOU HAVE
READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE DIRECTIONS. IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU DO NOT
UNDERSTAND CALL US.

Never

Always keep people and objects away from the gate. No one should cross the path of the moving gate.
This operator must be tested monthly. The gate must reverse on contact with a ridged object or stop

when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit travel, retest the
gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury.

Keep gates properly maintained. Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware. It
takes many years of experience to make proper adjustments to gate hardware or operators.

let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children.

injury:

There is nothing on a gate operator that is easily repaired without a great deal of experience. Save
yourself some time and call a qualified Gate Service Contractor who knows your type of gate operator.

INSTALL THE GATE OPERATOR ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE READ THE

FOLLOWING:

*Confirm that the gate operator being installed is appropriate for the application.
*Confirm that the gate is designed and built according to current published industry standards.
*Confirm that all appropriate safety features and safety accessory devices are being incorporated, including both primary and secondary

entrapment protection devices.
*Make sure that the gate works freely before installing the operator.
*Repair or service worn or damaged gate hardware before installation of the operator.
*Eliminate all gaps in a sliding gate below a 4 foot height that permits a 2 ¼ inch sphere to pass through any location, including the area

of the adjacent fence covered when the gate is in the open position.
*Eliminate all gaps in a swinging gate below a 4 foot height that permit a 4 inch sphere to pass through any location, including the hinge

area of the gate.
*Operator must be disconnected from the power source before attempting any installation of accessories.
*Install this gate operator according to our installation instructions.
*Adjust the operator clutch or load sensing device to the minimum force setting that will still allow for reliable gate operation.
*Install the operator inside the fence line(do not install the operator on the public side of fence line).
*Install a proper electrical ground to a gate operator.
*Install controls where users cannot touch or reach through the gate to operate the controls.
*Install all warning signs and take pictures of the installation.
*Test all safety features for proper function before placing the automatic vehicular gate into service.
*Train owner/users about basic functions and safety features of the gate system, including how to turn off the power and how to operate

the manual disconnect feature.
*Leave safety instructions, product literature, installation manual and maintenance manual with end user.
*Explain to the owner/user the importance of routine service and retesting on a monthly basis.

DIFFERENT UL 325 CLASS TYPES

Class one: Residential

A vehicle gate operator intended for use at a home of one to four single family dwellings, garages or parking area.

Class Two: Commercial or General Public Access

A vehicular gate operator intended for use at a commercial location or building such as a multi-family housing unit (five or more single
family units), hotel, garages, retail stores, other buildings servicing the general public.

Class three: Industrial or limited Access

A vehicular gate operator intended for use at an industrial location or building such as a factory, loading dock area, or other locations not
intended to service the general public.

Class Four: Restricted Access

A vehicular gate operator intended for use at a guarded industrial location or building such as airport security areas or other restricted
access locations not servicing the general public where unauthorized access is prevented via supervision by security personnel.

Other components required to satisfy UL 325

Each class must have a primary and secondary means to sense and react to obstructions within two seconds.

The six types of obstruction sensing systems are:

Type A:

Inherent obstruction sensing system. This system must sense and initiate the reverse of the gate within two seconds of contact with a
solid object.

Type B 1:

Provision for connection of a non-contact device can be used, such as a secondary protection.

Type B2:

Provision for connection of a contact sensor. Examples include an edge device or equivalent. This can be used for secondary protection.

Type C:

Inherent adjustable clutch or pressure relief valve.

Type D:

Provision for connection of or provided with and actuation device requiring continuous pressure.

Type E:

Inherent audio alarm.

All of All-O-Matic Inc’s Gate operators conform to the most ridged Class One.

Minimum
distance

A: Is the distance between the gate bracket and the gate
hinge point.
B: Is the distance between the gate hinge point and the edge
of the concrete pad.
C: Is the distance from the gate in the open position to the center
shaft of the operator.
Minimum distance: Is the minimum distance required behind
the open gate. If the distance between the
open gate and the back wall is between 20”
and 33” refer to compact installation.

Note: The 2” distance shown above is from the gate in the open position to the edge of the pad.

If the gate must open more than 90 degrees, the pad needs to move back accordingly. The
distance between the open gate and the pad needs to remain 2”. The distance “C” also needs to
move back accordingly if the opening is more than 90 degrees.
